Let's see... Monolophosaurus was a Tetanuran. A basal Tetanuran, outside both Avetheropoda and Megalosauroidea. So depending on where you put the origin of feathers, it is quite likely it did have them. |

Exactly. Depends on where you put the origin of feathers indeed. |

And lets face it, before ceratosauria or avetheropoda we have no idea of what theropods looked like, for all we know they could've looked like ANYTHING. Well, not really anything but w/e so getting angry for the presence/lack of feathers on them is pointless. |

Well, we can at least make a fair assumption that our most basal theropod skin available and our multiple sauropod skin specimens suggest a likely featherless basal saurischian (ie. the most recent common ancestor of Carnotaurus and Saltasaurus) regardless. Just throwing that out there. |

No we can't, we have no evidence to assume that these groups haven't lost their fuzz later in their evolution, im not saying thats right, but its a solid possibility, Carnotaurus and saltasaurus are still far up there in their own respective evolutionary trees, and as we know happened with ornithischians, its possible that these latter taxa lost the feathers their once more basal ancestors could've had. What i mean is, when it comes to basal (specially jurassic and triassic) dinosaurs in general, we just cannot know and don't have enough evidence to say anything, so any guess we make here is just as likely as the other.

The answer is worse. At least that question looks like a joke which gives me hope for our species. |

What a dumb answer. Everyone knows that Pterodactyl was a wyvern. |
